"Ziyun, get out of the way!"
Sensing the overwhelming Soul Power emanating from Nie Li, a hint of surprise flashed through
"Nie Li, don't, I'm begging you both!"
Nie Li looked coldly at Ye Zong in front of him and said with cold fury, "Do you even deserve to be a father? Have you ever cared about Ziyun since she was young? Except for constantly demanding that she train and train, what have you ever done for her? Do you know the loneliness she feels? She has no close friends at the Academy, and at the
"Boy, do you have any idea what you're saying? You're courting death! How dare you be so impudent to me?" Ye Zong grew even more furious. He let out a deep shout, and waves of Demon Spirit aura seeped out from his body. An even more massive Soul Power pressed down on Nie Li from all directions.
Bang!
Nie Li was sent flying.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Nie Li's Soul Power clashed frantically with Ye Zong's, exploding continuously in the void.
Nie Li was knocked back time and again, his body covered in wounds.
"Only cowards fear death! Even if I die, I have to say it. Do you think being the City Lord makes you so great? I don't give a damn about you! So what if you're a Black Gold Demon Spirit Master? Give me one year, and I'll crush you! What's so great about a Black Gold Demon Spirit Master? I've even seen those above Legendary!" Nie Li, covered in injuries, half-opened one eye, spat, and cursed, "Damn it! If you insist on fighting now, I'll risk death and use Soul Unity to teach you a damn good lesson!"
If he used Soul Unity, it would certainly result in mutual destruction. Nie Li didn't want to do that, nor did he want to make Ye Ziyun sad. After all, the person opposite was Ziyun's father!
"One year? You, of all people, think you can defeat a Black Gold Demon Spirit Master within a year?" Ye Zong looked at Nie Li with a cold sneer, a deep disdain hanging on his lips.
"What's the matter? You want to try?" Nie Li put his hands on his hips. He had already let go and pointed at Ye Zong, cursing loudly, "Give me one year, and I will crush you under my feet!"
"You said it yourself. If within one year you can defeat me, I won't pursue today's matter. And you, Ye Ziyun!" Ye Zong swept a cold glance at Ye Ziyun. A faint, almost imperceptible softness flickered in the depths of his eyes before he said icily, "If you don't reach Gold rank within one year, you two will never see each other again!"
Ye Zong's Soul Power struck Nie Li with full force, sending him flying. He slowly turned and walked away, saying, "Don't forget what you said today!"
With a deafening boom, Nie Li's Soul Power collapsed, the three pairs of wings behind him shattered into pieces, and his internal organs shifted. However, his life was not in danger. He panted heavily, and for a moment, he felt that he had brushed past death. The strength displayed in Ye Zong's final blow was many times greater than that of an ordinary Black Gold Demon Spirit Master. Ye Zong had reached the pinnacle of the Black Gold Demon Spirit Master rank, only a single step away from Legendary.
"Rest assured, I will never go back on my word!" Nie Li said solemnly, watching Ye Zong's retreating figure. As Ye Zong slowly left, a hint of doubt flashed through Nie Li's eyes. He had originally thought Ye Zong would do whatever it took to protect the reputation of the Wind Snow Family and kill him, but unexpectedly, Ye Zong had let him go!
